Lee & Dwight | Sydney Wedding at Montrose Berry Farm | Sutton Forest

When Lee and Dwight told me about what they had planned for their day, I almost pinched myself. Itโ€™s not every wedding I get to photograph lion dancers before the tea ceremony, an open air dance floor under the stars, and a massive sparkler exit. They married atร‚ย Montrose berry farm, the most delightfully sweet venue…

    I love this wedding. SO much. One of my faves is Dwight spinning Lee on the dancefloor, and the shot is out of focus. I love it. Gorgeous work, all of it. x

    Some crazy moments captured. And just amazing night atmosphere.

    These are outstanding, you nailed every stage of the day. Too many great photos to list them all but particular favourites are the silhouette of them framed in the door, the one of the girl spinning in the hallway, and my absolute favourite the black and white group shot just as they are getting themselves in position, perfect moment.
